00:00What's your name?
00:30Hi, Naja. Are you from New York?
00:34I'm from Philly.
00:35Oh, okay. Cute. We're from Philly too.
00:39Wild about Philly. Right on.
00:43So I'm curious, how did you hear about this event?
00:45My friend Ricky has been coming to these events for years now.
00:49And I did the human canvas project with Andy one time in his studio.
00:54I think this was right before the pandemic happened.
00:58And this was the last time that he's doing it.
01:00So I was like, sure, why not? I'll come out and do it.
01:03So what about this event brings you joy?
01:31I like being part of being art.
01:36I've done similar things before, but not out in public like this.
01:39And it's really interesting to see people's reaction to it.
01:43It's cool. It's really cool.
01:45So what do you like about being a human canvas then?
01:48The way people interact with how we're being presented and the process of it.
01:56Like I've seen some people be kind of like put off by it and other people who are like really interested in it.
02:02You know, of course, you get the weirdos as well.
02:04But it's really cool to see how people are like I've seen some people like grab their children, like cover their faces real quick.
02:12I'm like, maybe you should teach them that the human body is nothing to be ashamed of.
02:15You know, hopefully my family will see that and I can bring that to my family as well.
02:21So what do you most look forward to about this event?
02:45I can't wait to see how she finishes this.
02:50I know it's going to be something really cool.
02:51You know, she's very intense.
02:55Have you worked with her before?
02:57No, but like you got along like really quickly.
03:01Like we met like maybe 30 minutes ago.
03:03I was like, yeah, we're working together.
03:06Okay, cute.
03:08So how do you feel about this being the final body painting day?
03:11It's kind of sad, you know, I wish I was involved in the past, you know, but I'm just glad to actually be part of the experience.
03:22And I feel like even other people don't feel like it's historic.
03:25I feel like it's a historic event and I just want to be part of it.
03:28Yeah.
03:29Okay, cool.
03:31That's all the questions I have.
03:33I'm curious if there's any final thoughts that you want to leave with.
03:35I just hope that in the future people look at the human body as nature and nature is art and therefore the human body is art and we're no longer seeing things as like female breasts being considered subversive or taboo.
03:53I just hope that within my lifetime I can see that.
03:56Yes, absolutely.
03:57I hope for the same.
03:58Thank you so much again for your time.
